FlameSAFE Water Fire Extinguisher Service and Maintenance

AMPAC Safety Pty Ltd does not service, maintain or recharge

fire extinguishers. This service and maintenance information is a

guide to assist qualified service personnel in the inspection and

maintenance of AMPAC Safety FlameSAFE fire extinguishers

only. It is important that all warnings and notes on the fire

extinguisher and in AS1851 are complied with. Serious injury

could occur if these instructions are not followed. AMPAC Safety

assumes no liability for service, maintenance or recharge of fire

extinguishers by publishing this document.

When maintenance is indicated, it should be performed by

trained persons using proper equipment. Fire extinguishers are

pressure vessels and must be treated with respect and handled

with care. They are mechanical devices and require periodic

maintenance to be sure that they are ready to operate properly

and safely. Extinguishers should be serviced only with original

and genuine spare parts – the use of substitute parts constitutes

the void of any warranty covering the equipment.

1. REGULAR INSPECTION

The extinguisher shall be inspected in accordance with the

requirements of Australian Standard AS1851.

2. EXTINGUISHER RECHARGE INSTRUCTIONS

Warning

A. Before attempting to recharge be sure this extinguisher is

completely depressurized.

B. Use a regulated pressure source.

the regulator gauge should be used to determine when the

intended charging pressure has been reached, do not use

the extinguisher gauge for this purpose.

D. Never leave an extinguisher connected to a regulator of a

high pressure source for an extended period of time. A

defective regulator could cause the cylinder to rupture due

to excessive pressure.
